Hong Kong Fintech Week 2020 – Humanising Fintech

Hong Kong Fintech Week is Asia's global financial technology event. This year, the event will take place virtually in Hong Kong, from 2 – 6 November, allowing global fintech businesses, experts and visionaries to join from anywhere in the world to discuss how fintech is empowering society and businesses.

The impact of COVID-19 has been far-reaching, impacting global economies, businesses and people. The pandemic has exposed the urgent need for digital transformation in our global financial system. From the need to distribute funds across vast populations and geographies to those who need it most, to the demand for new banking and insurance models.

The pandemic has condensed years of digital adoption into a matter of months. Throughout the pandemic, Hong Kong’s fintech sector has proven to be an economic oasis, with companies hiring, thriving and growing, to drive a new era of financial services.

With the theme of “Humanising Fintech”, Hong Kong FinTech Week 2020 is the platform to reignite growth and drive positive impact for society and business, connect and inspires fintech leaders to create a brighter future. This year’s virtual conference is expected to attract over 25,000 participants from over 70 economies. The platform will comprise five channels, focusing on the resilience and development of Hong Kong, future fintech trends and growth opportunities. It will also provide a reinvented event experience with artificial intelligence-powered matchmaking and virtual networking opportunities. This year, the event is expected to attract over 350 global speakers including innovative fintech entrepreneurs, investors, regulators and academics, over, 500 fintech exhibitors and 30 delegations. Exhibitors will be able to showcase their latest technology solutions and meet the fastest growing fintech startups from across China, Asia and the world.
